Alarm at meat industry exaggerated: Brazil

Brazil's President Michel Temer says the alarm cause by the discovery of irregularities in meat industry controls was unfounded because very few meatpacking plants were involved.

China and the European Union curtailed meat imports from Brazil on Monday after police accused inspectors in the world's biggest exporter of beef and poultry of taking bribes to allow sales of rotten and salmonella-tainted meats.
